Holy crap, nearly 20 days since I last blogged. This is becoming like my xanga site--once every blue moon... So much to blog about now--where to start?

Paige had her baby; so adorable!! I love the little guy! He's got SUCH a head of hair, it's insane. Paige, you and Todd make amazing babies! I hope you have a dozen! ;)

I've decided to pick up a minor at ISU in MIS. I was 15 credits short of graduating with 150 credits (required for the CPA); what's one more semester? So graduation has been pushed back to Spring of 2010, which is killing me. 6 full years of school--what am I thinking?! I figured I'd have a harder time coming back, though, if I opted to have future employers pay for my extra schooling. It's better to get it all over with.

I'm grateful to have the semester done with, but I didn't do as well as I hoped I would. I'm still four hundreths of a point away from a 3.0 and it's killing me. I didn't realize how bad of a student I am until this year. Yikes! So many bad habits...(like not studying or reading my books)

The biggest news of all: Jessi's getting married! 2 1/2 week long engagement, and she's no longer a single woman! Her wedding is this sunday and it'll be nice not to have to worry about last minute planning anymore. Mom's pretty impressed with herself though. First daughter to get married (so first time planning a wedding) and she planned it in two weeks. Bravo, mom, bravo!! The rest of our wedding should be a peice of cake compared to this. :)

Christmas was amazing this year. The doctor my mom works for gave us a 10 foot artificial tree for our new house, and it's amazing. Sophie, our cat, loves it too; she climbed it all the way to the top and watched us open presents and whatnot. Mom got me the card game "Old Maid"--new nickname? (Hope not)

It's odd--I'm going to have a brother-in-law in 3 days. It's really weird to think about.

I mean, when I was younger, I had planned on being graduated from college and married by the time I was 22. Maybe a kid on the way. (Paige, you stole my plan ;)) But here I am, still a year and a half away from graduating, not even a boyfriend, and certainly no child on the way. ~sigh~ I shouldn't be so disappointed--it's His plan and it's far better than anything I could or would have chosen for myself. (Oddly enough, the plan I had for myself is now the plan for my sister.) It's still weird though. My little sister is getting married before me, having sex before me, having kids before me... I've been told it's not that big of a thing, and it's not really. It's just not what I had thought would happen. I fully expected to be helping her plan her wedding because I would be an "experienced veteran" and would know what to expect and plan for, not calling mom begging to be told how I could help when I was accidently left out of planning.

Oh well. I'm really happy for her (ectatic, really) and will be a mess of tears when she walks down that aisle with dad. And I will be a mess of tears when she and Mike look in each others eyes and tell eachother that they'll be there forever. And I will be a mess of tears when my dad sings (I always am anyway).

Who would have known you can plan a perfect wedding in two and a half weeks? :)
